Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

This track has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 14.4.

The piano is gorgeous on this and wouldn't look out of place on a Banks' solo album, that's probably where it should be as it's not one of the best Genesis tracks.

A bit corny, vague, and repetitive. Ultimately, just not all that interesting. Certainly not Genesis' best attempt at a straightforward pop song. Banks' lovely work on the electric grand piano certainly stands out above the rest of the pop fluff. Not much else to say other than it's not one of the album's highlights.
